SAFA to announce Bafana coach soon

The South African Football Association (SAFA) will hold a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on 26 July 2014, where the new Bafana Bafana coach will be announced.

“The position of the Senior Men’s National team needs to be ratified by the SAFA NEC; therefore, the long-awaited announcement of the new Bafana Bafana coach will be made immediately after the NEC meeting next Saturday,” said SAFA CEO, Dennis Mumble.

The South African National team has had 16 different coaches since their re-admission into international football in 1992, which is one of the highest turnovers in that department in the world.

Gordon Igesund was the latest man to have the job, but his tenor came to an end in May 2014. Bafana Bafana have been without a coach since, but rumours suggest former Nigerian coach Stephen Keshi is the man set to take over.

News, however, coming out of the Keshi camp is denying any future contracts with Bafana.
